Origin of the name

It is known as a right, which means the wave breaks from right to left from the perspective of a watcher on shore. The location is named after the first person to find this wave, Lance Knight. Lance Knight came to the Mentawai Islands in 1991 in search of new waves, and eventually paid a local man in a canoe to take him upon the wave now known as Lance's Right. ^[2] A group of surfers on the boat Indies Trader found Lance 2 weeks later, and the captain, Martin Daly, named the spot Lance's Right in honor of the first person to surf it.^[3]

The other name, HTs, is an abbreviation for Hollow Trees, because of a hollow tree that was on the beach, but is no longer there.^[4]

Specifics of the break

The break at Lance's Right is a "deceivingly" shallow reef, with an inside section known as the "surgeon's table", for the common injuries that happen to surfers who get stuck and cut on the flat section of the reef.   The end section is known as The Cage, where many photographers sit in boats and take photos of the surfers.

Competitions

In April 2016, the Rip Curl Mentawai Pro was held as a World Surf League (WSL) and Asian Surfing Championship (ASC) event at Lance's Right.^[5] Australian Chris Zaffis won the title, beating Indonesian surfer Dede Suryana in the final round.^[6]
